Several friends have told us that the people (women) are all well dressed in public and I wonder what is nice fall dress for a tourist...no white shoes of course :) I believe there is a lot of black and grey but I am not sure I want to pack a dress. Any suggestions? I just saw the article below about the jeans.
As a tourist, no one expects you to be wearing a dress and heels, but I find that taking a pair of black pants and a black skirt (more versatile than a dress) go a long way towards "fitting in." Having a 3rd piece of clothing tends to pull an outfit together, too, so having a cardigan or scarf that you can throw on with your basics is smart (and helps with cooler weather and/or church modesty rules too). Most importantly, wear what you'll be comfortable in!
Jeans, heeled boots (don't know how they cope with the road surfaces!) and leather jacket - very popular.
Thank you guys. Along with the jeans article I am glad I checked. I am amazed at how current and how fast this helpline is.
